Sunday 10 June

the nimbo trailer nears completion…

meanwhile Liz reports:-

 

“Well, it was a slow start in the murk – but then a nice soaring day today. Congrats to Bob for being passed to fly his lovely new LS4 (after successfully wrestling it back from the CFI!). Trial lessoner John stayed all day and had a great time; Soton Uni’s Tim and George worked on their soaring skills and Tim managed his first mini-cross-country flight; and finally big congrats to Tony P who soared away for his 1000th launch. Thanks from me, Liz, DI for the day, to all who helped make it another great fun day at the club.”

Flying Open Day 4th June


Fancy a day going up on the downs? Gliding Open Day Saturday 4th June.

Looking for a family day out full of adventure in an area of outstanding natural beauty? Then walk, cycle or drive to Shalbourne Gliding Club’s airfield near Hungerford. You can join in the excitement and adventure of gliding over the beautiful downland countryside, or just watch the fun while you enjoy a family picnic with your tea, cake and biscuits. There will be discounts on trial lessons if you want to try the gliding experience. All visitors will be welcome to join in the fun, or maybe just watch and chat and find out what gliding is all about.

  • Discounted Trial Lesson: £30 for a single launch and up to 15 minutes (duration of the flight is dependent upon weather conditions and may be shorter)
  • Trial Lesson Vouchers purchased on the day as a gift will receive a free launch voucher worth £8:00
    (for use in the month following the use of the voucher)
  • All trial lessons include one month of membership. If you subsequently join your trial lesson will be charged at member’s rates, e.g. A 15 minute flight would cost £12.20
